The Second Task! Who: Hogwarts teachers and students, Harry, Cedric, Hermione, Sirius, Ardyn, and any family members or close friends who would like to attend Where: The lake, Hogwarts grounds When: March 10th, mid-morning Rating: no higher than PG13, please Mod Note: Anything goes here. I'll post two threads. One for the Champions and their "things," as well as the official announcements, and the other for the spectators. Anyone who's an object to be rescued won't really be able to do much until the champions break the surface again, of course, but...
Ludo was nervous. Harry hadn't shown yet, and there were only a few more minutes until the task was supposed to begin. What if he failed to turn up? Then he'd really be up the creek. Maybe he should run up to the castle and...no, there was the boy now, running down from the castle. Ludo tried to hide his relief, but he couldn't hold back a pleased sigh as the boy skidded to a stop in front of the rest of the champions.
"Harry, my boy!" He clapped the boy on the shoulder, grinning. "Was beginning to think you would stand us up. Well, come along... Let's get you all into place!" He led the boy to the far side of the lake, his voice lower as they moved away from the others. "You ready? Know what you're going to do?"
